Performance Optimized Down Fire Wide Sealed 10" Shallow Sub Enclosure ResoNix GUS-10 · Single 10" Sealed enclosure

Because it is only 12 inches deep. The standard Performance Optimized Down Fire platform is 30 wide by 15 deep, and this application needs a cabinet that fits a space three inches shallower than that.

The airspace has to come from somewhere, so the cabinet runs 41 inches long instead of 30 and stands 5.5 inches tall. If you have 15 inches of depth, the standard cabinet is the pick; if your space is long and shallow, under a rear bench or on a narrow cargo floor, this is the shape that fits.

The standard cabinet is 30 x 15 x 5.125 inches and holds 0.59 cubic feet net. This cabinet is 41 x 12 x 5.5 and holds 0.723 cubic feet net, 0.133 cubic feet more, because its height is set by the GUS-10's mounting depth rather than by a volume target. More air means a lower, more damped Qtc, which is the safe direction. The choice is about shape: the standard box needs 15 inches of depth, this one needs 12 inches of depth and 41 inches of run.

The cabinet height is fixed by the GUS-10's mounting depth, and the airspace follows from it. At 0.723 cubic feet net: Dual 4-Ohm: Qtc 0.648, Fc 36.2 Hz, F3 39.7 Hz. Dual 2-Ohm: Qtc 0.568, Fc 34.0 Hz, F3 44.3 Hz. Both coil versions land below the 0.707 reference, the D4 closer to it.

Those are anechoic figures. Firing into the floor, the sealed rolloff meets rising cabin gain, so in-car response runs deeper than the numbers above.

500 watts RMS, and not more. ResoNix states that the GUS series is not deliberately underrated and that burnt voice coils or damage from bottoming out are not covered under warranty.

An amplifier capable of more output is fine so long as delivered power is limited to 500 watts. The driver is dual voice coil in Dual 2-Ohm and Dual 4-Ohm versions, so final impedance is set at the driver; confirm it against your amplifier's minimum stable load.

Because ResoNix specifies a minimum clearance in front of the cone, and on a down fire enclosure the thing in front of the cone is the floor. Their requirement for the GUS-10 is 23mm between the surround and the obstruction, or 55mm measured from the baffle surface.

The custom-fit standoffs hold that clearance. Setting a down fire GUS enclosure flat on the floor would restrict the driver. They are a required part of the design, not an accessory.

Side mounted. Every Proline X Performance Optimized enclosure uses a side mounted terminal cup, and on a down fire cabinet that keeps the connection accessible with the enclosure installed, since the baffle faces the floor. The cup is our Proline X ABS and carbon fiber composite unit, recessed, with stainless hardware, copper ring terminals, and pre-wired 12 gauge OFC.

V-groove and dado joinery, CNC cut on ShopSabre routers from Langboard Elite MDF. Every panel joint is a machined interlocking groove that mechanically locks the panels before adhesive is applied, which keeps the cabinet airtight under sustained pressure cycling. Corners are square, the Down Fire series standard, with no radii.

The front baffle is a double layer at 1.5 inches, with the outer layer machined as a flush recess so the driver bolts to the inner layer. A windowed U-brace ties the long panels together across the 41 inch span. Custom-fit standoffs are included to hold ResoNix's required floor clearance. Polyfill is installed as a light wall lining. Assembled and inspected in Tullahoma, Tennessee.

No. This listing is for the enclosure only, and includes the custom-fit standoffs. The GUS-10 is purchased directly from ResoNix Sound Solutions. The cutout and mounting depth are direct fit for either the Dual 2-Ohm or Dual 4-Ohm version.
